===Prophets of Islam were Sent to Every Nation===
There is no evidence that prophets preaching Islam or similar beliefs (monotheism) were ever sent to China, India, Japan, Polynesia, Australia, South-East Asia, Central Asia, Scandinavia, the polar regions, most of Africa and the pre-Columbian Americas. At the most, Judaism and Christianity (upon which Islam builds) were present in the Middle East, North Africa and Europe during the lifetime of Muhammad. Yet the Quran claims that every nation (or community) had a messenger.
{{Quote|{{Quran|16|36}}|And certainly We raised in '''every''' nation a messenger saying: Serve Allah and shun the Shaitan. So there were some of them whom Allah guided and there were others against whom error was due; therefore travel in the land, then see what was the end of the rejecters.}}
